Jack Wilshere to return to England Under21s today

The Arsenal midfielder, 18, was left out of Friday’s 1-0 win in Portugal in the wake of a post-night clubbing incident in London that saw him interviewed by officers investigating an assault.

Coach Stuart Peace left him on the bench in Braga as the teenager had “taken his eye off the ball”. England need to beat Lithuania today to have a chance of making the European Championship play-offs as one of the best runners-up.
